operational challenges, and reliance on a cyclical industry and principal customers. Actual results may differ materially from those expected or projected in the forward-looking statements. TGS undertakes no responsibility or obligation to update or alter forward-looking statements for any reason. All financial numbers in this presentation are based on pro-forma unless stated otherwise.

Strong Multi-Client Financial Performance

3D Streamer Contract Tenders

  • Significant awards and seasonality reduce total value of outstanding streamer bids
  • Higher tendering activity in Asia Pacific drives tender values in March
  • Streamer pricing development
    • Upswing during summer seasons
    • Margins have remained steady last 24 months
  • TGS remains disciplined

¹Active tenders are the dollar value of outstanding bids as of end March 2025.

Likely Lower Industry OBN Revenues in 2025

For 2025, the industry has secured more than 70% of 2024 revenues

  • Mid to deepwater acquisition market likely to decline ~5% in 2025
  • Some large proprietary projects delayed to 2026 partly offset by increasing adoption of OBN for MC

TGS with same OBN capacity in 2025 vs. 2023 and 2024

  • Stable OBN data acquisition activity
  • More multi-client activity with own capacity

Competitive OBN Market

  • 133% difference from low to high bid
  • Some players bid aggressively to gain market share and improve asset utilization
  • TGS in the upper half of the bid range

¹Sum of low and high OBN bids for the last three OBN tender processes in Brazil.

TGS Booked Positions¹

Booked streamer work²

  • High portion of steaming in Q2 due to seasonal fleet repositioning
  • Q2 streamer geo-markets:

    • Multi-Client in Brazil
  • Q2 OBN geo-markets:
    • Contract work in GoA, Norway, and Trinidad
    • Multi-Client in GoA
  • 2025 multi-client investment guidance of USD 425- 475 million
